DESCRIPTION
Process, curated by Karen M. Gutfreund, showcases artwork created meticulously by hand with alternative mediums by 22 Bay Area self-identified women, non-binary and BIPOC artists. Process is a testament to the skill, and passion of each artist—every mark carries the artist’s emotions, thoughts, and energy, becoming a tangible representation of the artist’s journey. This exhibition is a celebration of human creativity and craftspersonship and embodies the artist’s dedication, uniqueness, and connection to their art. Pushing back against the patriarchal canons of art, for what can be considered “women’s work,” these timeless forms of expression inspire and captivate audiences, reminding us of the profound impact that the human touch can have in the world of art.
